This document summarizes research on how technical illustrations can best represent physical tasks and movements. It discusses how mental imagery and mental rotation are important for understanding complex spatial relationships. The research aims to understand how people comprehend images from different perspectives and camera positions when showing physical tasks. Based on literature, illustrations showing tasks from a performer's viewpoint may be easier to understand, as this provides constant body position cues. Images should also maximize viewpoints across the display plane for easier judgment of distances and angles between objects.
Combining Quantitative & Qualitative Data in a Single Large scale User Resear...UserZoom
This document summarizes a large-scale user research study conducted by Measuring Usability that compared the usability of several major airline websites. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, including surveys of over 1,000 airline customers, task-based testing with 130 participants, and analysis of think-aloud transcripts. The results showed Southwest had the highest usability and satisfaction scores while United had the lowest. Issues with flight selection, calendar interfaces, and difficulty changing reservations were identified for United and American. The study provided insights into key drivers of the user experience for each airline website.
The document discusses how the field of technical communication is shifting from a focus solely on document design and usability to also include designing user experiences and engagement. Experience design aims to create feelings of community and sustained interaction beyond just task completion. Recent research highlighted in the document examines how cultural factors and adding social elements to interfaces can increase engagement and trust. The role of technical communicators may expand to include experience design, which considers holistic experiences rather than just interface details to promote emotional appeal and user engagement.
This document appears to be a series of slides from a senior thesis presentation about a study on metacognition in EFL readers. The study examined 59 EFL readers' use of metacognitive reading strategies when analyzing an English travel website about Belize. The participants completed a web analysis task and questionnaire assessing their use of global, problem-solving, and support reading strategies. Results showed problem-solving strategies had the highest mean usage. The presentation concludes by discussing using additional methods like eye tracking in future research.
This document summarizes business opportunities between California and Brazil. It notes that Brazil is the 6th largest economy in the world and California is the 8th largest. Current trade between Brazil and California is around $4 billion annually, with roughly $2 billion in imports and exports each. The leading sectors for US exports to Brazil from California include agriculture, aerospace, electrical power systems, environmental, franchising, ICT, insurance, medical equipment, mining, oil and gas, and pharmaceuticals. Other opportunities mentioned include real estate, education, and construction. The document provides resources for further information on trade relations and doing business in Brazil.

Este documento presenta fragmentos de textos y fotografías de varios artistas contemporáneos que exploran temas como la identidad, la intimidad, el género y la representación del cuerpo. Incluye citas y obras de Jorge Martínez Marín, Rineke Dijkstra, Gillian Wearing, Hannah Wilke, Nan Goldin, Shirin Neshat y Orlan, entre otros, que cuestionan nociones tradicionales y exhiben emociones y experiencias personales de forma transgresora.
This document outlines potential graduation thesis project topics for students in technical communication. The topics focus on designing and analyzing websites and technical documentation. Suggested projects involve designing a website, testing the usability, reviewing literature on technical website design, and performing statistical analysis. Other topics include designing training materials, animations, and prototypes and testing how users interact with and understand various technical interfaces and content. The document provides examples and details software that can be used to conduct the projects.
The document describes the Seagate Hadoop Workflow Accelerator, which enables organizations to optimize Hadoop workflows and centralize data storage. It accelerates Hadoop applications by leveraging ClusterStor's high-performance Lustre parallel file system and bypassing the HDFS software layer. This provides improved Hadoop performance, flexibility to scale compute and storage independently, and reduced total cost of ownership.
Large scale data-parsing with Hadoop in BioinformaticsNtino Krampis
This document discusses using Hadoop and MapReduce to perform large-scale data parsing and algorithm development. It provides examples of finding members of protein clusters in a dataset containing 12 million rows and 30GB of data. Traditional approaches like hashing and sorting the data are discussed and compared to the MapReduce approach. The MapReduce approach automatically handles data distribution across nodes, parallel processing of data fragments using Map and Reduce functions, and task scheduling to handle failures. Key aspects of MapReduce like the Map, Shuffle, and Reduce phases are outlined.

The document is an agenda for a Follett training session on their EXCEL customer service method. It provides background on Follett, which began in 1873 in Wheaton, Illinois. It then outlines the agenda, including learning the EXCEL method and a pop quiz to test comprehension. EXCEL is an acronym for their proven customer service approach - Engage, eXplore, Collaborate, Execute, Leave them smiling.
